Is there another ADSL line rental besides Telkom?

[Neonfox]

Hey Guys,

Just want to find out on this Topic. Is there a company that rents lines beside Telkom and do we have to pay for a Telephone line and A ADSL line and why is that?

Phone telkom to find out if I can cancel my telephone line and just keep my ADSL line and they said no! Just want to find out if that is true?

Thanks

Telkom is the only supplier of ADSL lines. Even if you get your line rental done through an ISP, they still have to do it through Telokm. It's all Telkom infrastructure.

You have to take an analog voice line rental as a base to having an ADSL line rental. Why? Because Telkom is a monopoly and they say so. There is no technical reason why (although they will argue they have to recover cost on maintenance).

Ya it didnt make sence to me ether to have a analog voice line? They said to me one cant operate without the other???? Anyways saw Axxess has good rental deals at the moment! 2MB with telkom ( or the new 4mb ) is R299 and with Axxess its R 250. Not bad!

It basically works the same as a reseller.

Main place sells their stuff expensive to the general public
They sell it cheaper to the reseller so they can at least make some profit
Reseller sells it even cheaper to the public so they would rather buy from them.

Ya unfortunately with out the telkom phone line rental you cant get the adsl line rental... We are so desperately in need of a competitor to telkom its ridiculous... And even if we got a competitor they would take years to get their own infrastructure up and running...
